12 Angry Men: Juror 8 Is The Most Important Juror - 526 words
12 Angry Men: Juror #8 is the Most Important Juror
Juror #8 was the most important juror in the play
Twelve Angry Men for a number of reasons. The
first reason is that when all the other jurors
voted guilty without even thinking about their
decisions, Juror #8 suggested that they talk about
it before jumping to conclusions. Even when some
of the other jurors got mad and started yelling at
him, he stayed calm and tried to work things out
in a mature fashion. The second reason is that he
convinced Juror #9 to change his vote to not
guilty. This was an important step because it
paved the way for the other jurors to change their
minds also. The third reason is Juror #8
re-enacted scenes from the ...

1984 By George Orwell "Nineteen Eighty Four"
Fictional World In English this semester we have
studied three different texts. All three texts
were based on original, fictional worlds. The
fictional world which stood out above the rest and
really amazed me would have to be Nineteen
Eighty-Four. Nineteen Eighty-Four was the most
realistic out of the three. While reading the
novel you really get into the fictional world and
think like the main character Winston Smith. Three
aspects of the text which made this world so
interesting to study were The Inner Party, Big
Brother, and the Thought Police. Each of these
interesting aspects in Nineteen Eighty Four play a
great part in the novel itself and ...

"Boooooooring!" exclaimed Marisa bored witless
during a mathematics lesson, whilst she threw her
feet on the desk. "Take your feet off the desk
this instant young lady!" shouted the hysterical
Ms. Daemon as she had a swig of her "coffee". "Why
should I?" asked the arrogant Marisa, tossing her
hair off her shoulder with a sly smile. "Warning
one, if you get a second warning you're in the
focus room!" Ms. Daemon was ready to cut Marisa's
throat out with a key, but was previously
suspended for her cruel acts of "discipline" so
she had to patiently wait for Marisa to make one
more mistake, in order for her to fully inflict
the mental torture she was all to well acquainted
with. Ms. Daemon was a ...

conversation. I decided to change the subject
quickly. "Coincidentally, yes sir. Why I'm
calling, though, is to inquire about the number of
outboard motors that have gone missing since last
week." "Pardon me?" The tone of his voice took a
sudden sinister turn that sent a twinge through my
bladder. Like the rookie I was, I had made some as
yet unrecognized blunder. I felt the strong urge
to conclude the interview immediately, but it was
too late. He knew my name. He knew my brother's
name. He knew why I'd called. He knew everything.
I'd have to bluff past my own ignorance. "Well, I
was wondering if the police suspected some kind of

A Traveler is Resolute and Independent Tenets of
Wordsworth in Resolution and Independence
Romanticism officially began in 1798, when William
Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge anonymously
published Lyrical Ballads. This work marked the
official beginning of a literary period which had
already begun many years before 1798. A work is
defined to be of a certain period by its
characteristics, therefore to be considered a
Romantic work, the work must contain aspects which
are termed "Romantic." A few typical "Romantic"
aspects are: love of the past; sympathy to the
childs mind; faith in the inner goodness of man;
aspects of nature having religious, mystic, and
symbolic significance; and reco ...

Abortion, The Pope And Peter Singer - 1,563 words
Abortion, The Pope And Peter Singer Abortion is
one of the most controversial issues today. It has
become a question of not only ethics, but morals.
In the 1973 case of Roe v Wade the Supreme Court
ruled that a woman has the right to terminate a
pregnancy by abortion within the first six months
of the pregnancy. However, conservative Presidents
have changed the legislation enough to allow
states to restrict abortion in various ways
(Practical Ethics, Peter Singer). In the following
paper, I will summarize the views on abortion of
Pope John Paul II and philosopher, Peter Singer.
These two men have very conflicting opinions about
abortion. Pope John Paul IIs Argument: This

Warfield claimed that there were three different
forms of annihilationism. "Pure Mortalism" holds
that the human life is so closely tied to the
physical organism that when the body dies, the
person as an entity ceases to exist (Erickson,
1237). Due to its pantheistic views, this doctrine
hasn't received much attention. The second is
